Plant as Strike Settled Concern Agrees To Raise Salaries, Bargain With Men Collectively Both Sides Laud Murphy No Reprisals 1 o Be Made Against Sit-Downers ls Company Promise FLINT, Mich., Feb. 11.— (UP)—Three General Motors plants held by approximately 1,300 sit-downers, were returned to company police tonight as workers quit them on the urging of United Automobile Workers of America officials. Last barrier to the resumption ot negotiations to end the General Motors strike was broken down when strikers in quick succession, marched out ol Fisher Body corporation plants one and two and Chevrolet number lour. Several thousand sympathizers who marched two miles from the main Fisher plant to the two located in the zone guarded by state militia, found the national guardsmen had been recalled from patrol duty a few moments before. Evacuation followed signing of the agreement ay the two factions in Gov. Frank Murphy's office. The. terms ol the peace: General Motors agreed to recognize the United Automobile Workers as bargaining agent for all members of the union and to refrain for six months from bargaining with other employe groups in the 20 plants where strikes occurred; to use no coercion against union members; to start collective bargaining with the union on February 16 and to resume operations in all pi nts as soon as possible; to return all employes to their regular work without discrimination or prejudice against strikers; to drop legal proceedings against sit-down strikers and union officials at Flint, Mich., and Cleveland. The union agreed to call off the strike and to evacuate all plants occupied by sit-down strikers; to start collective bargaining on February 16; to call no strikes during negotiations on wages, honrs, and working conditions; lo conduct no membership drives on corporation premises; to interfere in no way with production while negotiations are in nrogress. There was acclaim from boih John L. Lewis and Allred P Sloan for the patient, tireless work of Gov. Frank Murphy who devoted almost all his time to the industrial struggle.

During the past weeks he has studied birds which have been taught to sing ' Annie Laurie," "Silent Night," and "Yankee Doodle." Dr. Metfessel has discovered through the use of phonograph records, motion picture films and the strobophotographic machine lhat these birds are capable of greater variations in tone and pitch than opera stars. In his study he is comparing the learning ability of the canary to human behavior. In his project he is investigating the hereditary traits of the birds ln the development of their singing habits as contrasted to the human characteristics. Birds which have been raised in segregated, sound-proof cages have developed song habits including a full repertoire of five or W different trill effects.

If you are getting healthy sleep on a regular basis, you should feel alert during waking hours. One of the main symptoms of all sleep problems is daytime sleepiness. Sometimes sleepiness will manifest in other ways, such as loss of memory or concentration problems. You may also feel irritable, depressed or a bit confused when you're sleep deprived.

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
Thomas Clarkson, in his History of the Abolition of the Slave Trade (1808), concludes with the following optimistic view of the possibilities of human reason and sympathy:
Thus ended one of the most glorious contests, after a continuance for twenty years, of any ever carried on in any age or country. A contest, not of brutal violence, but of reason. A contest between those, who felt deeply for the happiness and the honour of their fellow-creatures, and those, who, through vicious custom and the impulse of avarice, had trampled under-foot the sacred rights of their nature, and had even attempted to efface all title to the divine image from their minds.
About this Quotation:
Thomas Clarkson is justifiably in very high spirits in 1808 with the successful passing of legislation in the British Parliament to abolish the slave trade. He and his fellow abolitionists knew that this was a first but important step towards finally abolishing slavery (which would not occur in British colonies until the 1830s). What lies behind the tone of this final passage in the book is the realisation that an injustice which had survived for millennia, and which had become the unquestioned orthodoxy of all "right thinking people", had been overturned by a peaceful campaign of moral suasion and political campaigning, and not by violence.

About Mike Dawes View Full Biography
Mike Dawes (ENG) is hailed as one of the world's finest and most creative modern fingerstyle guitar performers.
His acclaimed solo music has gained over 50 million hits on popular video sharing sites and since the release of his debut album in 2013 he has toured almost every continent on the planet, with an average of 150 concerts per year.
Mike needs to be seen live to be believed. His ability to create the most unusual tones and textures simultaneously from a single acoustic guitar leaves fellow musicians stunned. Bass, melody, harmony and percussion all seamlessly produced using his signature technical yet intrinsically musical guitar technique.
His show is not just for guitar fans however, his entertaining and humorous rapport transcends the traditional guitar concert. Extraordinary virtuosity meets Monty Python via a one-man rock show. Mike has recorded with and taught multiple grammy winning artists, appeared on film and TV soundtracks, released apps, written for the world's best selling music magazines and in addition to his solo work, currently performs alongside and in support of the legendary frontman of The Moody Blues, Justin Hayward, the debut live DVD of which entered the US Billboard charts at #2.
At 28 years of age, Mike has made a huge impact in a relatively short space of time. His persistent work ethic and entertainingly meticulous approach to composition and performance on a single instrument has seen raised smiles and dropped jaws all over the world. He is not a typical guitar player. On a single steel string guitar Mike is able to coax out the most unusual and subtle textures, whilst performing layers and layers of music simultaneously using complex micro-techniques led predominantly by the right hand.
In a style that is hard to illustrate, the young Brit combines rock, folk, funk and pop music in an instrumental concoction that leaves listeners both confused and intrigued. However, it's his innate musicality and ear for melody that give listeners something different. Mike is able to utilise his advanced technical arsenal to achieve a musical and emotional end, a skill set often lacking in this instrumental category. In the live arena, his British humour and electric presence sprinkle an entertainment not uncommon in a comedy club. He does not take himself seriously, but the music is taken very seriously

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

It's not like an AK.
An AK has a rotating bolt with tabs that locks into ears in the trunnion. So most of the pressure from the round firing is put on the trunnion and bolt held.
The RPD has locking flaps on the carrier that move outward into grooves on the inside of the receiver, these flaps are behind the bolt head a few inches. So the pressure is further back in the receiver.
Do you have any parts of the RPD receiver to look at?
It still might be possible to make a receiver from something else other then a chunk of milled steel.
But even using heavy sheet steel or even tubing might be possible, but some machining would still be needed, and I think you would still need some parts of the original receiver (like the front and maybe the rear sections?)
But I get what your thinking, and it would be neat to see one built lighter, and the receiver is the bulk of that weight.
If you want more info I can look for pics I took or take some and hope they can help you think of something.
OH I just thought of this. In the "AK build it yourself" area is the "MG47" thread, now it mainly uses AK parts but it could help give you ideas.
Here, there's two threads, and it will take a while to go through them.

Rob Lowe is really stretching for his new "Californication" part -- all the way to Brad Pitt.
As these first look pictures show, Lowe looks a heck of a lot like the bearded movie star walking around with Angelina Jolie these days with a trail of kids behind of him.
Hilariously, on "Californication" Lowe is playing a an actor trying to win the part of Hank in the film within the series. Hank is, of course, played by series star David Duchovny.
So Rob Lowe is channeling Brad Pitt to play an onscreen David Duchovny. Only in Hollywood.
Last season rocker Rick Springfield stole the spotlight in his outrageous guest appearances. Lowe seems to be gunning for the same spot in the fourth season.
Duchovny has made it clear that he loves shooting the show (and it shows in his performances). In an April press conference he talked excitedly about resuming "Californication," which will air in September.
"The show will be canceled long before I get tired of it," he said.
Rob Lowe is really stretching for his new "Californication" part -- all the way to Brad Pitt.

Efficacy of the Bone-anchored Hearing Aid for Unilateral Deafness

|Condition or disease
|Unilateral Deafness
|Device: Bone-anchored hearing aid
Limited studies have been done on the BAHA in adults with single sided (sensorineural) deafness, and these studies have evaluated only short-term efficacy at one month post implantation. The findings of the limited number of studies to date on the BAHA with single sided deafness demonstrate that the BAHA improves understanding in noisy or group situations and understanding conversation when addressed by a speaker on the side of the bad ear and most users have judged the BAHA to have at least satisfactory benefit. But conflicting findings have been obtained regarding whether the BAHA improves the ability to locate the source of a sound. Additionally, no studies have been done to see whether the magnitudes of the improvements seen at one month post implantation increase over time because of learning effects or brain plasticity.
This investigation will show whether the previously reported BAHA benefits at one month post BAHA sound processor fitting, related to speech recognition in noise and subjective satisfaction, persist at one year, and whether learning effects increase the magnitudes of these benefits from one month to one year post BAHA sound processor fitting. This long-term investigation also attempts to resolve the conflicting findings pertaining to the BAHA effect on localization abilities.
Subjects with hearing impairment will comprise 20 adults with single sided deafness who consent to remediation with the BAHA.In order to see how the adults with unilateral hearing loss will differ from the normal-hearing subjects over time, a control group of 20 normal-hearing individuals also will be evaluated over time, to see how closely the results of the unilateral deafness group approximate the results of the normal individuals.

At this year's Tribeca Film Festival, Ondine enjoyed its U.S. premiere. Showcasing the exceptional story-telling skills of Oscar-winner Neil Jordan, Ondine is the story of a sea-farer's aspirational excursion to a place beyond imagination without limitation of the senses.
Set in the Southwest Coast of Ireland, Ondine is a fairytale fantasy about a lonely fisherman, Syracuse (Colin Farrell) who one day finds a bedazzling woman – Ondine (Alicja Bachleda) - in his trawler net and, in the process of untangling her slithery past, unearths mystery, mayhem and the majesty of redemption.
Ondine is mystical, marvelous and mighty. Even though his townspeople have given up on him, Syracuse refuses to slink into the sea's abyss. Just as the personal and the political erupt in Sophocles' play when the Greeks no sooner relinquish their wounded comrade Philoctetes only to discover that they require his bow to vanquish their long war with the Trojans, so too Syracuse's landsmen forsake his humanity - cat-calling him 'Circus' - only to realize the monumental value of his presence amongst them.
Ondine is sheer seduction without sin, without sanctimony and without surrender. If you want to sail deep without a wet-suit and discover your own shoreline anew with a refreshly-spirited gaze, race to Ondine.

"It just wasn't meant to be."
"Given the heartbreaking circumstances of Sunday's Cricket World Cup final defeat, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was a picture of poise and class in defeat. It said a lot about both him and the culture of the side he leads so well," so wrote Graham Caygill for The National, the Abu-Dhabi based newspaper tnhat servioces the United Arab Emirates.
With so many individual sports stars and teams coming under scrutiny these days for indiscretions, both on and off the field, it is heart-warming to pick up on a story such as Caygill's.
Under the headline, 'Conduct of Kane Williamson and New Zealand after Cricket World Cup final defeat a reminder of how the game should be played,' Caygill wrote:
"This was not simply a case of losing or being beaten by a better side. Both England and New Zealand finished tied on 241 runs after 100 overs of cricket. They could not be separated in the super over, either, with each side scoring 15 runs off six balls. In a tournament first the trophy was decided on the second tie-break - the side who scored more boundaries during the game. England won on the count back, 26 to 17, meaning Eoin Morgan was the captain to lift the trophy."
"It was an agonising way to lose any match, let alone a final - New Zealand's second successive in the ICC's flagship 50-over event - and yet Williamson and his side handled the disappointment with dignity," said The National article.
"Their graciousness in defeat is neither new or surprising. The Black Caps have long been held as the example for how cricket players should conduct themselves on the pitch."
"In April 2018, Australia were embroiled in the now infamous ball-tampering scandal in South Africa, one of the darkest moments in the game's long history. Their soon-to-be former coach Darren Lehmann was struggling to come to terms with the idea that three of his players, including captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner, had conspired to cheat at Newlands," Caygill wrote.
"Of how Australia could change their alpha male, win-at-all-costs mentality, Lehman pointed to New Zealand as role models to aspire to. 'The thing for me would be if we take a leaf out of someone like New Zealand's book - the way they play and respect the opposition.''
"Williamson fosters a playing culture of "hard but fair" in his teammates that is a legacy of his predecessor, Brendon McCullum. New Zealand play the game how it should be played: with passion, spirit, and a focus on scoring runs and taking wickets. Sledging opponents is anathema to this team. Not indulging in cricket's darker arts has not blunted their competitive edge, either. Eoin Morgan and the England team will testify to that," said The National article.
"There were plenty of reminders during Sunday's game as to why New Zealand have become such an admired outfit. Besides the talent that runs through the team, their respect for the umpires, opposition and rules of the game was exemplary. The moment Trent Boult's foot flicked the boundary rope as he took a catch off Ben Stokes that could have won the game in the closing overs, teammate Martin Guptill's immediately raised his hands to tell the umpire he should signal for a six."
"When a throw to the wicketkeeper flicked off Stokes and ran away to the boundary on the third-last ball there were no histrionics from the New Zealand players despite the fact it may well cost them the match. It was unfortunate, but there was no intention on Stokes' part. No New Zealand players confronted Stokes, who looked mortified by his stroke of luck at such a crucial stage, and play went on," wrote Caygill.
"Plenty of critics, led by Australian Shane Warne, bemoaned the way New Zealand lost the match on the second tie-break."
"Not Williamson, though. The Black Caps captain simply composed himself and said there was no reason to change the rules, even though it had cost his side glory."
"The rules are there at the start," he said. "No-one probably thought they would have to sort a result by some of that stuff."
New Zealand may not have won the World Cup but they have won plenty of admirers for their talent and their conduct, said Caygill.
Such was Williamson's modesty, he looked genuinely bemused when he was told he had been named player of the tournament during the post-match presentations.
"In a sporting landscape dominated by ultra egos, Williamson is a breath of fresh air," said The National article.

I appreciate how much effort the instructor put into responding to questions. He made an online course feel like there was human presence, and that he cared about how much you were getting out of the class. I have really enjoyed this course, and I learned a lot.
Thank you for taking the time to make it understandable. This has helped me so that I do not need to depend on others to create and manage my website.
This was an EXCELLENT class. I really was able to relate to the instructor's teaching style which made learning CSS/XHTML interesting and fun. I plan to continue my studies. Thank you very much!
I went through lesson 1, while overlapping with the end of "Intro to Creating Web Pages", and it was a great review for the "Creating Web Pages" final. I find your approach so fantastically organized and well explained! I feel confident I'll be caught up with everything when the new lesson comes Wednesday. These topics are brand new to me, so I am simply delighted to be catching on. Thanks for making everything so accessible!
Without a doubt, this is the best online class of any kind that I've taken. You explained the material so clearly and concisely - it was just a joy! As a former educator myself, I just can't praise you enough.
Teaching a class in person is hard enough and takes a skilled instructor. Teaching a course online adds that much more of a challenge. You're a talented instructor to be able to convey technical information in a manner that is easy to understand and relate to, especially when it's all virtual!
I must admit, I was a little skeptical about the returns of online courses (for me personally).
I am a little more geared to real people in real classes or just pick up a book and read it, but I have been pleasantly surprised. I am impressed by the organization and flow of the material, with special thanks for including the supplements of useful internet support available (yes, you can always search yourself, but the narrowing and filtering of the choices is of value). The best compliment I can give is that I would recommend it to others and will be picking up another class coming up in a couple of weeks. Thank you.
I've learned much more than I expected. I like your writing style because it's clear, logical and easy to understand. This is a topic I knew nothing about coming in and your lessons made learning fun.
You have done an excellent job with the material and your responses have been so encouraging and helpful. I also appreciate the students in this course and in all the courses. What a great group I've had in each course! Courteous, helpful and ask great questions. Thank you all
Taking this class is great because of how methodically, clearly, and consistently information is delivered. I feel as if my prior knowledge's holes are getting systematically filled in, and that feels excellent. Thanks, Alan! The organization and clarity of your lessons and chapters makes all of this work really well for me. I appreciate the thought you had to put in to figure out what progression of material would make the most sense.

My two kiddos love to play with water beads. I'm not a big fan because it seems like I chase those little beads around the house the whole time they are playing with them. They are quite bouncy.....
So one afternoon I decided we would try to paint with them instead of just pouring, scooping, etc.
And it turned out super fun.
It's kinda like marble painting, but better because the water beads bounce all around the paper. They seem to move a little easier when covered in paint than the marbles do.
Anna really enjoyed it....and Drew enjoyed making a mess, so it was a win-win for us!!
You don't need much paint at all....just a few squirts. The water from the beads makes the paint the perfect consistency.
I put paper in these shallow plastic containers and they were great for little hands to hold.
See....Drew enjoys just squishing the water beads and making a mess.
It was fun....and a new way to enjoy water beads!!

Quick reminder that we're getting together tomorrow, Saturday, noon to two at Foley's NY [1] (18 W. 33rd St., between 5th and 6th Avenues), for a little Baseball in December. Ostensibly we're celebrating a new book [2] and an imminent birthday (sort of), but ultimately, it is a love of baseball that draws us together because that's what baseball does sometimes, even out of season. Come join us if you can. The details are here [3]. You'll be among friends.
Today is terrible. Here's to all our tomorrows somehow being brighter.
Thanks to Ron Kaplan of Baseball Bookshelf [4] and Vinny Cartiglia of MetsBlog [5] for having me on their podcasts recently to discuss The Happiest Recap. Hope you get a chance to listen in.

"We really don't know how this is going to end," the Queens Museum of Art's David Strauss told reporters before the battle got underway. "Those About to Die Salute You" was the creation of Duke Riley, an artist who gained notoriety a few years ago when he built a wood-and-fiberglass submarine and sailed it in the East River. He was arrested when it floated too close to the Queens Mary 2, which was docked off Brooklyn. The headline in the New York Post the next day read "Sub-moron!"
The battle, which featured five teams representing museums from the five boroughs, was watched by a mixture of toga-clad spectators who spent the evening imbibing free wine and beer and curious soccer players who had just finished several games in the park.
As the start of the battle grew near, the crowd grew restless, chanting "Boats! Boats! Boats!" A DJ tried to entertain the spectators, but approximately midway through Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" they could no longer be sated, and boxes of tomatoes and stale bread that were stationed around the pool and meant to be thrown during the battle instead made an early appearance. Some unfurled umbrellas to protect themselves, while others jumped into the pool.
The announcer yelled at them to get out of the water, using a fair amount of expletives to get his point across.
"This is way crazier than we thought it was going to be," said a toga-clad Tom Finkelpearl, executive director of the Queens Museum, said as tomatoes whizzed over his head.
Eventually the water was cleared, and the boats made their appearance. The vessels ranged from a battleship representing Brooklyn to a cardboard ferry representing Staten Island to a dragon-headed ship made of reeds harvested from the park, which held the team from Queens. Differing in material and shape, the boats shared a common attribute: they were far from seaworthy.
Most of the boats were destroyed in 20 minutes or less, and spectators could no longer contain themselves, jumping into the waster and joining in the combat. As the battle raged, a model of Riley's Queen Mary 2 was pushed to the center of the pool by a volunteer and then set aflame as the spectators made a wild dash from the water. The boat was eventually tipped over, extinguishing the flames and signaling an end to the "exhibition."
When the smoke cleared, nobody was too badly hurt.

Homebrewing: How to Brew American Amber Ale
Tips and techniques to help you brew better beer at home.
When I go to my local watering hole and I step up to the bar to order, I always have a momentary adrenaline surge. In the few seconds before I speak the possibilities are limitless: I could have any beer on tap. But I know that as soon as I order a beer every door except one will close. There is tremendous pressure to make the right choice, and I usually find myself thinking, "Do I want a light beer or a dark beer?" Before I even scan the list of beers etched in many colors of chalk on the wall, I've limited my choices to light or dark, leaving out ambers and browns, the Goldilocks beers that are not too light and not too dark.
An informal poll of my friends was revealing. When asked, "What are your favorite kinds of beer?" the most common responses were "pale ales" and "dark beers." But when asked, "What is your favorite beer?" amber and brown ales, like Lonerider's Sweet Josie Brown, were often named.
How can it be that most of us prefer light or dark beers yet many of us have a medium-colored beer as our favorite? My theory is that light beers and dark beers are dependable while ambers and browns are not. When you order an unfamililar pale ale, porter, or stout, you have a good idea of what to expect, but when you order an amber or brown ale, you could get anything from dry and hoppy, to sweet and malty. When an amber or brown ale is well-made and well-balanced it can be not too sweet or too dry, not too malty or too hoppy, not too light or too dark, not too harsh or too mellow. It can be just right.
Today I want to show you how to brew your own just-right amber ale. According to the Beer Judge Certification Program style guidelines, American Amber Ales should be "like an American pale ale with more body, more caramel richness, and a balance more towards malt than hops (although hop rates can be significant)." Their color can be dark golden to red to light brown.
As the style guidelines suggests, these beers tend to be maltier than pale ales, but some versions, especially from the Pacific Northwest, can be very hoppy, especially in aroma. You'll want to use a high-quality base malt and some medium to dark Crystal malts. Try to ferment cool to keep the flavor clean. In my all-grain version, I use a few special techniques to create a well-balanced flavor, including steeping the specialty malts, first wort hopping, and late hopping.

Loretta M. Pegum 1918-2012
Funeral service for Loretta Pegum, 93, of Emmetsburg and formerly of Graettinger was held Monday, Oct. 8, at the United Methodist Church in Graettinger.
Burial was in the Graettinger City Cemetery. The Joyce-Alesch Funeral Home in Graettinger was in charge of arrangements.
Loretta Mae Pegum was born Nov. 4, 1918, the daughter of Alvin H. and Bertha Mae (Mum) Besaw in Osgood. She attended country schools.
On Nov. 6, 1933, Loretta was united in marriage to Gabriel F. Pegum in Emmetsburg. They made their home in Graettinger where they raised their family. In 1945, Gabriel joined the United States Army, and he was stationed in Joplin, MO. The couple spent two years there before returning to Graettinger.
Loretta worked as a nurse's aide, and she helped several farmers in the Graettinger area. She and Gabriel were also caretakers of Valley View Cemetery for a number of years.
Loretta was a fantastic cook. She made the best homemade bread, buns and pies. She liked western books and movies, working word find puzzles and taking rides along the countryside. Most of all, Loretta loved being with her family.
On Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012, Loretta passed away at Palo Alto County Hospital in Emmetsburg.
Left to cherish her memory are her children: Donna Nissen (Norman) of Graettinger, Mary Libby (Bill) of Fort Walton Beach, FL, Donald Pegum of Emmetsburg, Darold Pegum (Barb) of Milford, and Peggy Libby of Streator, IL; three sisters: Marjorie Lockwood of Fenton, Gudrid Haynes of Fort Scott, KS, JoAnn Love of Oklahoma; 11 grandchildren; 35 great-grandchildren and 7-1/2 great-great-grandchildren.
Loretta was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Gabriel; sister, Lula Curry; four brothers, Jack Besaw, Guy Besaw (Viola), Earl Besaw and Herbie Besaw; and an infant sister, Delores.

The main page is one way that people can first experience your wiki. It's also a page that's commonly available on every other page, since clicking on your wordmark can transport you to the main page (depending on your user preferences, see "Landing page"). As a result, it's frequently one of the most-visited pages on any wiki.
So make sure it looks great — and that it links to the most vital pages in your community! And don't be afraid to change it up from time-to-time. Since updating the main page will often require making new choices in Theme Designer, the entire look of the wiki will likely be refreshed at the same time!
Don't be afraid to look at other wikis around Fandom for ideas about how main pages can look. Main pages come in all shapes and sizes, and the wise administrator never stops looking for the next great main page idea!
Taking your first steps with a main page
There are many paths to success for main pages. However, here are some great starting points:
- If you've just created a new community, your main page is populated with a set of default content. This content suggests some pathways you could use to tailor your wiki to your needs.
- You can change any part of this page by editing it. Simply click the "Edit" button at the top of the page. We strongly suggest editing this page in source edit mode — and therefore with a knowledge of wikitext — since it's necessarily a more complicated page than the average article page. Consequently, it defeats the VisualEditor's usual ability to faithfully represent the page as it looks.
- We recommend that your main page includes a short intro paragraph that tells your readers what your community is about and what people can expect to find there.
- We also recommend that you include links to the most important articles on your main page. This will help readers find their way to great content quickly. As seen at right, the starting point of new wikis gives a number of suggestions about possible links you can make.
- Most successful main pages use galleries. For best effect, learn how to build them in wikitext.
- Though there are some use-cases for sliders, we don't particularly recommend them these days for main pages.
- Be sure to give your main page a clean design. It doesn't need to be fancy; it just needs to look good!
Some technicalities
- The system message MediaWiki:Mainpage defines the location of the main page – that is, where users end up when visiting your community via the basic URL (name.fandom.com).
- If you rename your main page via the normal page rename tool, MediaWiki:Mainpage is automatically updated to point to the new location.
- Main page column tags are your friends! They come with new wikis by default. If you get rid of them, it's likely that your design won't work on all devices and browser widths anymore. They help separate main page content into a wide left "column" area and a narrow right "column" (that should match the width of the uneditable right rail on other pages). They also steer your content successfully around the ad that appears in the top right corner of every wiki.
- Consider breaking up your main page's content into discrete modules, and then making a separate template for each module. This makes maintenance a lot simpler — and clearer — since you'll be dealing with a single part of the main page at one time, instead of the whole thing!

Parts utilized
Chemical constituents and properties
Leaves contain a high percentage of potassium salts (0.7 gm in 100 grams of fresh leaves.
From dried leaves, a small amount of volatile oil and a bitter alkaloid, orthosiphonin.
Considered anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and hypoglycemic.
Decoction of leaves used for kidney and bladder problems and other afflictions of the urinary tract.
Also used for its diuretic effect.
Poultice of leaves or chewed leaves stuffed onto painful tooth.
Java Tea is derived from Orthosiphon aristatus, touted for its diuretic action, kidney flushing benefits for kidney and bladder stones.
• Antihypertensive: Antihypertensive actions of methylripariochromene A from Orthosiphon aristatus, an indonesian traditional medicinal plant : Methylripariochromene A (MRC), isolated from the leaves of OA showed blood pressure lowering effect and a vasodilating action, decrease cardiac output and diuretic action. It supports the traditional use of the plant for hypertension treatment.
• Na+,K+-ATPase Inhibition: In the study of ten Thai indigenous medicinal plants, O aristatus showed high potent inhibitory activity .
• Three Indonesian medicinal plants were studied for their biologically active constituents. Three benzochromenes and four isopimarane-type diterpenes isolated from the leaves of Orthoshiphon aristatus were shown to exhibit inhibitory effects on
smooth muscle contractions caused by several stimulants
• Diuretic: O. stamineus extract exhibited dose-dependent diuretic activity with a significantly increased excretion of K. There was also slight increase of BUN, creatinine and blood glucose levels, although statistically significant when compared to control , the levels were considered within normal range. Although less potent than furosemide and HCTZ, care should be taken in its consumption because of alterations in kidney parameters.
• Nephrolitihiasis Study : In a randomized control trial of Orthosiphon versus placebo, no statistically significant difference was found.
• Hepatoprotective : A study on the methanol extract of leaves of Orthosiphon staminues against paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity showed treatment with OS extract brought back the alterered biochemical markers in a dose-dependent manner suggesting hepatoprotective activity.
• Diuretic / Hypouricemic : A study on the methanol extract of OS showed significantly increased excretion of sodium and potassium excretion in a pattern comparable to hydrochlorothiazide. It also showed reduced serum urate level in hyperuricemic rats. Study provides evidence towards a diuretic and hypouricemic effect in rats.
Toxicity Study
• Chronic Toxicity Test : A study on the chronic toxicity of water extract of Orthosiphon aristatus on Wistar rats showed that high doses of the extract caused a reduction of serum sodium levels in all extract-treated groups and increase alklaine phosphatase level and incidence of hydrocalyx in male rats, therefore advising that the prolonged use of OA should be avoided.
